It takes much longer. A week after surgery and I can’t see hardly anything. Doc told me my vision would be blurry but never said how blurry lol. It’s actually horrible. During recovery my vision got worse then when I had glasses. But thank God it improves. If u get prk and you’re the sole provider in your family, plan on being useless for at least 2 weeks.

@@bsolo505 no problem, my vision is soooo much better now I can actually see better then 20/20. I’m at about a 20/15. I’m just waiting for the sharpness to get a bit better. The doc just looked at my eyes yesterday and said the sharpness will deff get better. I just have a new issue that I’m dealing with and the pressure in my eyes now is too high from the Steroid drops. I got added 2 other drops to drop the pressure down. Hopefully it gets better bc it’s making me nervous. Make sure you follow your eye drops to a T. I know it’s hard for you right now but your eyes will get better I promise. 👍 Good luck!

It’s essential to understand that PRK recovery takes time. Your vision might be blurry initially, and stabilising can take a few days to several weeks. Be patient and allow your eyes to heal. Adequate rest and sleep are crucial to your recovery, so ensure you’re getting enough of both. Your surgeon will provide you with specific post-operative care instructions. These instructions are designed to help your eyes heal properly and minimise complications. Following them diligently is crucial for a smooth recovery. This may include using prescribed eye drops and avoiding rubbing your eyes.

On the 18th day post-surgery, I can read and see things up close, but objects at a distance remain blurry, and I still experience sensitivity to light

@vsonlasereyesurgerybrisban8095

During the initial recovery period, your eyes will be more sensitive to light and environmental factors. Wear protective sunglasses outdoors to shield your eyes from harmful UV rays and bright light.

Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your experience after your recent laser eye surgery. We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing some differences between your left and right eye. We'd like to assure you that this is a normal part of the healing process. After laser eye surgery, it's common for vision to fluctuate as your eyes adjust to their new state. As a result, one eye may heal faster than the other, causing temporary differences in clarity and focus. These fluctuations typically resolve within a few weeks, but it's important to be patient and follow any post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon. If you have any concerns or questions about your recovery, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to support you throughout your journey to better vision.

3 weeks after transPRK. It is a little bit different day to day. I think vision is 20/25 20/30. The main issue is ghosting. Far away big objects no problem. But close by and small objects are not sharp and difficult to read. I am not worried yes because it is just week 3 but I do hope it will get better. Funny thing is that I had a lot of problems with starburst before surgery but that is completely gone. Also halo's are almost non excisting anymore.

Over the next two to three days, your vision may remain hazy and blurry as part of the healing process. By about a week after the surgery, you can expect to have achieved approximately 80% of the vision recovery. However, it may take six to eight weeks for your vision to stabilize fully, giving you the clear and crisp vision you desired from the PRK procedure.

That’s not what my medical staff has told me… It’s normal if it takes (much) longer…

I had PRK 10 days ago and I still can't see clearly everything is distorted close or far. Can anyone with personal experience share when did they start to see clearly?

Thank you for sharing your experience 15 days after your laser eye surgery. We understand that it can be concerning to still experience blurry vision at this stage of your recovery, but we want to reassure you that this can be normal. Every individual heals differently after laser eye surgery, and some people may experience a longer recovery period than others. It's not uncommon to experience some blurriness or haziness in your vision during the initial post-operative period, as your eyes are still adjusting to their new state. We recommend that you continue to follow any post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon, including the use of any prescribed eye drops or medications. It's also important to avoid any strenuous activities or exposure to harsh environments that could potentially affect your eyes during the healing process. If you have any further concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to support you throughout your recovery and ensure that you achieve the best possible results from your surgery.

We're sorry to hear that you're still experiencing haze three months after your laser eye surgery. While it's common to experience some haziness or fluctuations in vision during the initial healing period, these issues usually resolve within a few weeks. In some cases, however, patients may experience longer-lasting haze or other visual issues. This can be due to a variety of factors, such as pre-existing eye conditions or complications during the surgery. We recommend that you schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to have your eyes evaluated and discuss any ongoing issues you may be experiencing. They can provide you with a more personalised assessment and recommend any further treatments or adjustments that may be necessary to help improve your vision. Thank you for choosing our clinic for your laser eye surgery, and please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any further questions or concerns.
